Re: "Rice Rocket'
Hit the truck with the pressure washer and scrubbed the wheels and sprayed some tire wet.
Then started to tear down the little fourwheeler motor (They dropped all the parts in the dirt and stuck em back in, ugh) Thankfully they never ran it like that, So im going to flush it out and re assemble. Hopefully shes gonna be a good lil runner!! Im excited but not enough time!

Re: "Rice Rocket'
I thought about it, I Just dont like how it looks over time. And everyone has 'flat black'.
Anything else? Stance? Repaints on certain pieces? Straigtening my wipers is something I should do, they are crooked and need to be replaced.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
Dang hub, I knew you'd have to say something like that!
No, the cab is absolute junk, Between the rust in the inner cowl and windshield. I dont think its worth the hours to fix it. I have 5 lug rallys in the front that look like crap and 6 lug rallys that are CLEAN in the rear. I need a new rearend so I can run my slots. I may start a thread in the big board...
